    Hi Gillian. I had my 9 week check Friday gone. They examined me and inserted the speculum. It was very painful for me but she said my vault (area where cervix used to be) is still quite raw so advised to continue taking it easy and no sex yet (much to my relief) I have a lot of crampy pains at mo especially if I do too much.

    I've had 2 days of being out and about and I'm exhausted. How I'll cope back at work in 3 weeks time I'll never know. But I suppose 3 wks is a long way of yet. Trying to build myself up but not succeeding much at mo.

      Hi yeah I had A&P repair as well as total hysterectomy and a tvt. The full works!!! Certainly got my money's worth. Ha. It's so hard to do nothing if you feel ok. But then the body lets you know if you e don't too much as I'm suffering now. Very frustrating. X

    My doctor used a speculum at my 6 week appointment.  She was very gentle and it didn't hurt.

      I didn't, but I had a posterior repair (no anterior issues) and I wasn't having any symptoms of a UTI or anything.   I think they would have taken a sample if there was any reason at all to think it might be helpful.  Also, I am in the US so it may be different.

      That's great that you have your questions for your doctor written down.  It's so easy to forget what you meant to ask if you don't write it down!

    Every doctor is different when it comes to the exam. Your pain can be spasms or a sprained pelvic wall. Don't worry your body needs time to heal. Everyone heals differently. Best of luck to you love .💖
